Trump has a blunt and bombastic way of speaking, and this is probably both his greatest virtue and his biggest weak point.
Since he got started back in the day, it seems to me that a big reason he stirs up so much blowback and the cause of the metastasizing of TDS is because he takes such delight it telling idiots that they are idiots. Du…
Trump has a blunt and bombastic way of speaking, and this is probably both his greatest virtue and his biggest weak point.
Since he got started back in the day, it seems to me that a big reason he stirs up so much blowback and the cause of the metastasizing of TDS is because he takes such delight it telling idiots that they are idiots. During his first term, I often found myself wishing he would just tone down the twittering a little while simultaneously cheering him on. His message is often lost due to the manner in which he gives it and instead of hearing and thinking about what he is saying, people react emotionally to the way he says it. The better way to convert someone to your way of thinking is to convince them with your argument rather than simply telling them how stupid they are. Trumps confrontational manner about EVERYTHING sometimes doesn't help him.
Ronald Reagan is often referred to as the Great Communicator because he had a talent for telling people unpleasant truths and making it all sound so reasonable. He had a way of telling people they were an idiot that didn't result in his target getting so pissed off. He could tell someone to go to hell and they might enjoy the trip.
And, yes. I thought it was a mistake to have Elon Musk constantly publicly crowing about the waste and abuse that he was finding. They should have been just quietly closing things, canceling things, and firing people and then found a much quieter or more subtle way of publicizing the results.
But, I do love it and I hope he sustains the pace because our bloated government is destroying our country.
Also, keep in mind that almost everything he has done so far can be undone just as fast unless those idiots in Congress get off their fat asses and pass legislation to make the reforms permanent.
I liked Elon and his list of ridiculous waste - unbelievable how those NGO grifters managed to suck taxpayer dollars out of USAID. Equally unbelievable what taxpayer dollars were blown on…truly stupid stuff. Even he was incredulous when he listed the graft! I think publicizing in that manner was needed to wake people up to the rot.

Trumps base loves it.
TDS is caused by its victims, and their spreading their contagion.
